Hi, I have had M.S. for so long now that I can't remember not having it. You just have to get on with everything. It's become more difficult even to just move around my flat but it's tough. I have to get around my flat, I have to do the tidying up, washing dishes etc. We all know the saying - Use it or lose it - and it's very true. I will never give up doing anything unless I have to and I think that thats what everyone should do unless it is truly too difficult.

With the emotional ups and downs, I've got my husband, family, and friends to support me. I know some of you may not have such an emotional support bubble, which is why pets exist, if you're able to have one.
In my darkest day, where I thought I was a drain on my husband, we had our dog, Lacie, and a picture came in my head. My husband coming home from work, him knowing something was up because I hadn't replied to his, "on the train now," text. Him seeing our dog curled up beside my lifeless body, probably already crying herself. That day, I started getting my life together. Getting medical records from my hospital, just so I could send them to the DWP and appeal their PIP decision. I got a good amount of back pay when the fact they were wrong with their decision.
Please be aware I live in the UK, and so it won't be the same for other countries.
DWP - Department of Work and Pensions.
PIP - Personal Independence Payment (disability benefit).

Hello everyone,
Living with MS can be emotionally exhausting, from the uncertainty of it to the physical symptoms and their impact on daily life. It’s natural to have moments of discouragement, but it’s also so important to find ways to appreciate the fleeting moments of well-being.
